It would appear Mr. Fly is not as enterprising as Wes Anderson’s fantastic Mr. Fox. The way Belgian photographer
Nicholas Hendrickx
tells it, he was outside in his garden taking clichéd images of
flowers, having just purchased his first cheap macro filters online and
eager to give them a try. It was there that he encountered Gerald Fly, a
down-on-his-luck insect holding a “Will work 4 food” sign. So Nicholas
did just that, putting him to work as a model. The fictional narrative
is entertaining, sure, but the pictures are fascinating on their own.
The painstaking process involved in placing a fly atop a miniature
bicycle, or putting a guitar in his hands, makes the following images
that much more impressive.
